Patient's question:
Doctor, I am exactly 35 weeks pregnant today. The past two weeks, I occasionally felt dizzy and lightheaded, but in the last two days, I get dizzy whenever I look up or move my head. There are a few seconds of blankness in my head, and when it's severe, I feel like vomiting, a bit like the sensation after a head impact. My blood pressure is normal. Is this a normal pregnancy symptom? Could it be due to insufficient blood supply to the brain? What I'm most worried about is what impact this might have on the baby. Please, doctor, could you answer me? What should I do to ensure the baby is not affected? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: In your case, the first consideration is anemia. I don't know if you have been taking folic acid and iron supplements since you became pregnant. If not, I recommend that you have a blood test done to check for anemia. If it is confirmed, treatment should be started as soon as possible.Advice: In your case, the first consideration is anemia.
